“When I was young, both of my Aunts and Uncles divorced. I would go to school and get bullied, come home to my family fighting and isolate. I gave up on school and started getting in trouble, and that was when I thought nothing would ever get better. So I tried to kill myself. I tried again, I tried probably three more times after that. Fast forward to High School and things began to change. Instead of being bullied, I was now popular. I began to party, girls liked me, and I was finally where I thought I always wanted to be, but I wasn't happy. My Junior year for Halloween I didn't have any plans, so I decided to go to Youth Group with my friends. That night was different. The guest speaker spoke directly to me, but it seemed like Jesus Himself was saying those words. This year will be 8 years since that Halloween night I gave my life to the Lord. Now, I am in Bible College and I have also partnered with my church to build and lead the Youth Group. Jesus gave me Joy and purpose and He can do the same for you!”
